Bold choice, perhaps?

Answer:

TYPEFACE

Hint:

Think of how your text might look when you want it to stand out—this term covers everything from elegant scripts to blocky letters.

Explanation:

This clue plays on the double meaning of "bold." In typography, "bold" refers to a thick, heavy typeface style, so the answer is a literal term for a font. The word "choice" hints at selecting a typeface, reinforcing the idea. It’s a clever way to turn a design term into a pun about making a daring decision.
